    Breakfast burrito
    Jake S.

    Really good breakfast burrito, one of the better ones in Rehoboth. Cute/quiet spot too, food took a minute but it was delish

    Vietnamese coffee

    Came here for a late breakfast. It is a small place but we sat down right away. The owner was there and talked greeted us as soon as we entered. Staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Vegan options and good coffee choices.

    Gluten free waffles with fresh berries and maple syrup

    Very cute cafe! Love Zava and Wanda's amazing welcome We ordered takeout - redskin potatoes (excellent) and vegan sausage. We ate at the restaurant and had gluten free waffles with fresh berries and maple syrup and tofu scramble with red potatoes. Everything was excellent. Somewhat limited seating.

    The bagel was inedible mushy non toasted bad tasting . The actual food on the sandwhich that was edible was pretty good. Im from NY and got the NY sandwich but please dont use our name with the worst falling apart roll bagel lol. Great homemade hot sauce! Horrible flavorless undercooked potatoes. Cute ambience though. Other than that creative ideas and kind lady but the quality needs to match the prices

    Table setting & menu!

    Cute Brazilian cafe & restaurant! There's something for everyone here from paninis, sandwiches & salads! They play chill Spanish music which was a nice perk ;) I had the chipotle chicken avocado sandwich on a brioche bun and that was so good! Not spicy at all definitely a honey flavor and the chicken was moist :) My parents had the Brussel Sprouts Cesar which was delicious and fresh. the Caprese Panini was good except that it was served cold (not toasted). The Burrata Bruschetta was AMAZING! The flavors were clean and delicious! Will definitely be coming back!

    Outdoor seating

    Such an adorable place for breakfast or lunch!! Great and friendly service, cute location, adorable lattes and the best chicken salad I've ever had!! The owner was fabulous as well as the staff!! Definitely will be a staple on my RB visits!

    The food was amazing! I visited Zava Cafe over Easter and had the most amazing breakfast sandwich. With bacon, tomato, avocado and more! The service was outstanding and the staff were extremely friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful, the cafe has such a wonderful modern design. I can't wait to back some time soon.

The portions were enough to make two meals out of one entree. The Pappardelle was cooked perfectly. The meatballs and sausage had great flavor. I am giving a 4 not 5 since the pasta sauce was nothing spectacular and was basic sauce to me. Also, it might have been me showing up a little early before the order was ready, but it would have been nice to have some red pepper and some Parmesan cheese. Maybe the ordering app could have had a place to ask for this. The Tiramisu had great flavor.

That way, it gives me a chance to try more of the local flavors. Every year before this one I was usually just leaving right after my work was done, but I needed a little me time. Well, as much me time as possible when some of your friends are still in the area. This spot is within walking distance of several hotels in the area, making it an easy destination for people and one of the busiest places to be for meals. Even in the offseason. When we arrived we were greeted promptly at the door and lead to a booth. With menus in hand we were on our way to deciding out meals. I teetered between two, Lasagna and Bolognese. A few of my friends that I came here with had been before and they couldn't shed much light on the matter. When our server came to the table to take our drink orders he was insightful on my options. He basically convinced me in going with the Lasagna with the soul reasoning being that they use the Bolognese sauce in the Lasagna. Sold, Lasagna it was. A bit about the place. Offseason hours a a bit peculiar, short hours during most weekdays and longer ones toward the weekends. It was warm and welcoming and lively. Our server was a delight, I believe one of the owners, or at least that was what the pictures on the wall portrayed. He made sure we were taken care of and that our needs were met. He even apologized for the timeliness of our food coming out. Then the food did arrive. What took me by surprise at first was the portion. It was more than satisfactory, it was quite the piece of Lasagna. Then the first bite, the server didn't lie, it was quite tasty and I was happen that I didn't have to go with just the Bolognese. The sauce held so much flavor and it was quite the item to pull everything together. It was layered perfectly and a fitting meal. My friends were surprised I finished the whole thing. This will definitely be a place I will stop back at if I return. It filled my need for Italian food, and in my mind, far superior with what else is offered within walking distance of the hotels of Dewey Beach.

It had become a meaningful family tradition for all of us. Just might be unfriendly and coarse treatment We often got from the food pick up area, it wasn't enough to keep us away. During our most recent visit, a roach crawled off my husband's plate. When we brought the food back and try to discreetly inform the manager, manager Lauren appeared annoyed, dismissed the situation by saying it "probably came from the produce," and never once apologized. She grabbed the food and walked away, shaking her head annoyed while saying they would replace it. When I calmly expressed that her response felt rude given the circumstances, she became defensive and downright, rude and abusive rather than compassionate. What happened next was even more disturbing. After remaking the food, Lauren and another manager, Ashley, were seen pointing, laughing, and mocking my husband as he walked away. When he returned the replacement meal and requested a refund instead, Lauren made an inappropriate comment about his anatomy, and Ashley made a shocking remark implying he was abusing his wife. Finding an insect in food is bad enough. Being humiliated and treated with such hostility afterward was unacceptable. After years of loyalty to this location, our family will not be returning.

    Slice & Drink Review…read more Louie's is definitely a blast from the past. The dining room is straight out of 1970, and the walk up takeout right next door, at least a few decades older. The black and whites on the walls feel right out of a 50's newsreel. I love all that historic stuff from my own childhood, so it pleased me to go back in time for a little bit. I needed a slice and diet to carry me through the late afternoon and Louie's was right in front of me when we parked near the boards at the top of Rehoboth Ave. I knew nothing about pizza at this shore, but my Jersey roots made me comfortable it would be decent. The reheat on the mushroom slice was strong enough to crisp the firm scorched crust back to life, and allowed the mozzarella to sweat and melt, while the sliced dark schrooms remained embedded in the surrounding cheese. It was a smaller than expected triangle, but the taste and texture were fine. The crust was somewhat airy with a nice crunch; the red sauce wasn't memorable. Five bites and it was gone. Four Stars for the rekindled sandy memories.
